Smash Ultimate · Mid Tier

Wii Fit Trainer Balance Changes

Deep Breathing can build a big lead on a character who already hits hard, so its damage buff comes down. Neutral air combos become more consistent in exchange.

Balance Philosophy

Each mid-tier character receives a buff and a nerf: shave off the most unfair part of the kit while lessening the character's biggest weakness.

Proposed Changes

Each entry lists the move or ability affected, the adjustment itself, and — where the analysis states one — the problem it is meant to solve and the reasoning behind it.

  1. Down special (Deep Breathing)

    Nerf
    Proposed adjustment
    Slightly smaller damage multiplier.
    Current issue
    It often creates large leads on a character who is already strong.

  2. Neutral air

    Buff
    Proposed adjustment
    17 frames of decreased end lag.
    Reason
    Makes combos out of neutral air more consistent.

Where The Source Is Unclear

  • The source reads "Neutral air will have 17 frames of decreased end lag," which could mean an end lag of 17 frames or a reduction of 17 frames. The wording is ambiguous.
